Chapter 180
Chapter 180 She Is Breaking Down
Amanda took the tissue and wiped her tears. “Where should we go now to find Aiden? I’m really
worried about him…”
“You drive back home and wait for me there. I’ll search. Grandpa can only hide him in a few ces,
and if you think about it, he’s still in his hands. He’s his great-grandson, and his love for him is no less
than ours.”
Understanding that Amanda was emotional, Elias decided to search for Aiden alone. Therefore, he
believed it would be more appropriate for her to wait at home.
“No! I’m going with you!” She could not bear the thought of staying at home while her mind was
consumed with worries about Aiden.
“Hey-He wanted to respond but was interrupted by her.
“I understand what you’re thinking, but I wanna go with you. I can’t bear to stay at home. I’m too
worried. about Aiden.”
“Alright. You drive, and I’ll navigate.” After all, he still had an injury on his foot, which made it
inconvenient for him to drive.
Nodding, sheposed herself and started the car, slowly driving away. “Where should we go now?”
He leaned back in the seat, pondering the properties registered under Howard’s name. Where would
he hide Aiden…
After a moment of contemtion, he spoke up, “Let’s head to the hotel first.”
Amanda was taken aback. “Would Grandpa hide Aiden in a hotel?” Why would he think that? Why
would Grandpa hide Aiden in a hotel? It doesn’t make sense.
Elias exined, “You can’t guess or understand Grandpa’s thinking. Sometimes the most dangerous
ce can also be the safest, and a hotel isn’t a ce where we can freely search.”
She was rendered speechless. Is Grandpa’s thinking really that intricate?
As Amanda pondered, she realized that someone capable of upholding the legacy of the Winters
Family could not possibly be a mere ordinary old man.
Without uttering another word, she drove directly to the Chateau Hotel, one of the properties owned by
Winters Enterprises.
Arriving at the hotel, she quietly trailed behind Elias. It was the Winters Family’s territory, so she
believed he was better equipped to handle the situation.
They went straight to the manager’s office.
When the hotel manager noticed Elias, he promptly rose from his seat and respectfully greeted, “Mr.
Winters, what brings you here today? How may I assist you?”
Elias sat on the couch in the guest area. “Has my grandfather given you any instructions or requests
lately?”
The manager appeared utterly confused, not understanding the situation. He nced at Amanda
standing nearby before looking at Elias. “No, I haven’t received any calls from Old Mr. Winters in a long
time. The
Elias coldly nced at the manager. “Are you sure? If you dare to withhold any information from me
and I discover it, you’ll be dismissed from your position. You’ve got to know I hold the ultimate authority
within Winters Enterprises now.”
The manager swiftlyprehended the gravity of the situation. He understood that the Winters Family
was now under Elias’ authority as the future heir. Any offense toward him would undoubtedly result in
severe consequences.
“Mr. Winters, how could I dare to do such a thing? I assure you; I haven’t hidden anything from you. I
haven’t seen Old Mr. Winters or received any orders from him. If I have, I shall be struck by lightning.”
He was on the verge of swearing to God, his face disying unwavering loyalty.
Elias stood up slowly. “If my grandfather contacts you, ?ill me immediately.”
“Yes, absolutely. If he contacts me, I’ll report it to you.”

Elias did not spare another nce at the manager and turned to leave. Amanda wanted to say
something. but he had already left, so she hurriedly followed him:
Watching their departing figures, the manager breathed a sigh of relief. He initially thought Elias had
come specifically to cause him trouble and had been terrified.
Walking out of the hotel, Amanda stood alongside Elias and could not help but ask, “Are we just going
to leave like this? Shouldn’t we search inside the hotel? What if Aiden is hidden in one of the rooms?”
He stopped in his tracks. “He’s probably not here. It’d be pointless for that manager to deceive me.
With hundreds of rooms in this hotel, it would take us an eternity to search each one.”
She remained silent, feeling unwilling to leave aftering all this way. “Where should we go next,
then?”
Elias walked toward the car, deep in thought for a few seconds. “Let’s head to the Chalster Vi
District. It was the ce Grandma loved to stay the most. Since her passing. Grandpa hasn’t visited
there again, probably to avoid stirring up memories.
“Then, let’s not waste any time!” Amanda swiftly opened the car door and settled into the driver’s seat,
securing her seatbelt.
And so, the two arrived at the Chalster Vi District. As she exited the car, her gaze fell upon the vi
standing before her. It appeared deste and unupied for quite some time. Grandpa wouldn’t be
hiding Aiden in here, would he?
As soon as Elias stepped out of the car and caught sight of the vi’s condition, he swiftly returned to
the vehicle. “Get back in the car. There’s no need to search. He’s not here.”
Without hesitation, she also entered the car. The vi appeared deste and emanated an unsettling
atmosphere.
“Where should we go next?” She started to grow impatient. At this rate, when will we ever find Aiden?
He sensed her frustration and nced at her profile. “Don’t worry. We’ll surely find himtonight.”
She was on the verge of breaking down and could not help but vent her frustrations. “I understand, but
how long will it take to find Aiden by searching like this? I want to see him right away!” After speaking,
she realized her outburst and quickly regained herposure. I’m sorry. I got a bit carried away. So,
where should we go next?”
Elias leaned back in the car seat and replied slowly, “Let me think… You’re right. We can’t continue
searching aimlessly like this.”
Where would Grandpa hide Aiden? He closed his eyes and entered a contemtive state, trying to put
himself in Grandpa’s shoes. If I were Grandpa, where would I hide Aiden?
Amanda observed him lost in thought, reluctant to interrupt his train of thinking.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes. “I got it! To the estate!”
The estate? Would Grandpa have hidden Aiden there? But isn’t that where Elias lives?
“Why do you think Aiden would be hidden there?” She could not help but ask.
Elias’ handsome face grew serious as he exined, “Because that’s the true home of the Winters
Family. Grandpa believes that his son’s spirit resides there, and if his grandson is there, his great-
grandson should. be there too. That ce is the continuation of my family’s bloodline.”
Bloodline… Amanda suddenly found the idea usible, considering how much importance Howard
ced
on bloodlines.
She started the car and steered it toward the Winters Estate, filled with eagerness to reunite with Aiden
as soon as possible…
